Actor, producer and champion for nature, Dia Mirza has fond memories of working in Rajkumar Hirani`s modern classic, `Lage Raho Munna Bhai`. The film that turns 15 on September 1, 2021, is a milestone memory for the actor who has had a beautiful and enduring association with Rajkumar Hirani Films and Vidhu Vinod Chopra`s productions including films like `Parineeta` and `Sanju.`
In a media interaction, Dia stated, "A film like `Lage Raho Munna Bhai` always remains relevant because of its theme. It is very rare that a film addresses really complicated societal issues in such a simple yet profound way. The questions that the film tackled in 2006 are still meaningful. The film shows how easy it is to bring people together, dissipate ignorance and create synergy, harmony and peace even in the most contentious situations. This is how we won our independence; with extraordinary resilience and idealism. These values are timeless and can never be obsolete. Terms like `Gandhigiri` and `Get well soon" are now part of the popular lexicon forever because of this film."
